Two Hounds

"The former Schmid Gifts and More store in downtown Glen Ellyn may soon house a microbrewery and restaurant.

Jon With, who owns Gammon Coach House in Batavia, wants to open a microbrewery and restaurant in the former 6,200-square-foot store at 486 Pennsylvania Ave. Schmid was a pharmacy and then a gift store before it closed in 2011 after a 44-year history in the village.

With said he hopes to close on the property in April and open the microbrewery and restaurant by mid-September (2016).

Peeked in the window, they have a way to go. If past performance is any indication, it will be a struggle to get open by the holiday season. I hope they do open by Thanksgiving, always good to have more dining options.
